The Junior School and the Senior School each have separate and specific activities which operate through the academic year or on a term or semester basis.
Co-Curricular
Debate Team
The Debate Team helps students develop critical thinking, communication, and confidence. Students learn to analyse information, present clear arguments, and engage their audience. Participation fosters teamwork and collaboration, while skills gained, such as public speaking and critical thinking, are valuable for future careers in law, politics, business, and media. Competing in local events builds experience and resilience, preparing students for academic and professional success.
Duke of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh Award offers students a unique opportunity to develop valuable life skills through a combination of outdoor adventures, community service, and personal development. Participants build resilience, teamwork, and leadership skills while challenging themselves in physical activities, volunteering, and setting personal goals. The award encourages students to step outside their comfort zones, fostering self-confidence, independence, and a strong sense of achievement that benefits both their personal growth and future career prospects.
